What if you could learn the art of herbalism the traditional way? With all your senses – by cooking, smelling, tasting, and using your intuition?



How would it feel to know your body, understand the messages it’s sending you, and intuitively know what plants could offer support?



What would your life look like if you chose to take this journey and open yourself up to the plants whispering in your ear?




Herbalism is a HUGE topic with all sorts of strange terms and Latin names.


TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE TO START CAN FEEL OVERWHELMING.


In this year-long apprenticeship, we’ll break the foundations of herbalism down piece by piece, through guided seasonal explorations where you’ll meet the plants in person, in-depth study on how the body works, and hands-on practice where you’ll synthesize everything you’ve learned in the kitchen.

The Winter Apprenticeship is built on nourishment. We make a cozy winter nest in our homes, create nourishing meals and tea, and blend herbal remedies to help support our bodies throughout the winter season. Lessons include making sourdough, kombucha, broth, spice blends, and a ton more

We'll build our intuitive self care by learning anatomy, physiology, and how to understand if a plant is right for your specific body needs. We'll also learn how to make herbal remedies and the art of formulation.

Take plant walks to study the earth as it rests. Forage cottonwood buds, resin, and early budding plants. Guided meditations, astrology, folklore, ceremony, and magic will be an important part of diving deeper into your intuitive studies.

How the Online Course Works




The course is 8 weeks long. The content for each week will be made available on Wednesdays. Content will be a combination of video and workbooks. Each week there will be a main lesson, medicine making videos, community cooking class, meditations, folklore/magic workbooks, live meetings (optional), and recipes for making things at home.


There will also be smaller classes included with guest teachers, including dream work and mushroom medicine.

Students will have lifetime access, so you can move at your own pace.

(Students of the in-person apprenticeship have full access to the online course as well)
